    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for the opportunity. I join you and my colleagues who have spoken before me to thanking the leadership of Uasin Gishu County for hosting us and the preparations that they have put in place to make sure that we have a successful sitting outside Nairobi. I also want to join my colleagues in thanking the residents of Uasin Gishu County for the hospitality, the love and warmth they have shown to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. For those who had doubts about devolution, this is a clear demonstration that devolution is here to stay. The biggest gain that Kenyans got in the Constitution 2010 is devolution and one of the three pillars of devolution is the Senate. The other one is county assemblies and county governments. The Senate as provided for in Article 96 of our Constitution serves to represent counties. There is no better way to represent people than going to them and getting to know their problems first-hand. That is what we have embarked on. I want to support the idea that we should endeavor to visit four counties every calendar year. I take this opportunity to welcome you to the great County of Vihiga that I represent."
